In the midst of Sang-cheol from 'I Am SOLO' season 26 confirming a 2-on-1 date, Jung-sook and Young-ja faced a tense standoff.
The episode aired on the 18th on ENA and SBS Plus, showing the women of season 26 participating in dates as they approached the final selection.
On this day, Young-ja actively approached Sang-cheol during their super date. As soon as she got into the car, she complimented him, saying, "He really has a Hyun-bin vibe from the side," and exhibited interest in his hobbies.
The two created a pleasant atmosphere throughout the date. Young-ja noted in an interview, "It was ordinary and gave a sense of stability. Despite his flashy appearance, he was calm. I thought he had a twist of charm."
On the other hand, Sang-cheol said, "Young-ja is also a very attractive person," and added, "I have feelings for Jung-sook too, so it was heavy. Since I can't have both people in my heart, various complex emotions arise."
After the date ended, Young-ja went to Sang-cheol's room to continue the conversation, and Jung-sook, who found out about this, showed her displeasure, saying, "Are you talking there?"
Eventually, Jung-sook expressed her jealousy to other participants, saying, "I became uncomfortable. They are talking, and I'm not feeling good. What else is there to talk about after the date? You should be talking to me. I'm upset," making her feelings known. She also mentioned in an interview, "I was a bit annoyed, thinking, 'What more is there to talk about?'"
Meanwhile, before the final selection, the dates were conducted based on the women's choices. As a result, Young-sook chose Young-soo, and Jung-sook chose Sang-cheol.
Most importantly, Sang-cheol, who was deliberating between Young-ja and Jung-sook, said, "I had many conversations with Jung-sook, and we developed a lot of intimacy. During the first impression selection, she was bright, cheerful, and had good reactions; those aspects continued to accumulate," expressing his feelings toward Jung-sook.
Then, Soon-ja chose Young-ho, and Young-ja, who declared a "straight approach," headed toward Sang-cheol as expected. Among them, Ok-soon stated, "There is no one I want to get to know and I did not develop any feelings," thus giving up her choice. Finally, Hyun-sook chose Kwang-soo, while Young-sik, Young-cheol, and Kyung-soo, who did not receive any choices, ended up eating a lonely dinner.
After all choices were made, the only 1-on-1 date of Sang-cheol's car saw a tense standoff between Jung-sook and Young-ja. Young-ja mentioned, "I am accustomed to these 2-on-1 dates," referencing her previous dates, and Jung-sook retorted, "It's not that we're not accustomed to it, just that we aren't having a standoff."
Caught between the two, Sang-cheol appeared dazed and increasingly dark in complexion, drawing attention. Observing this, Song Hae-na remarked, "There is no focus," to which Defconn understood, saying, "This situation is overwhelming."
